if details of the program became public, it would be CIA officers who would face criticism

Does this mean he was OK with the torture, just worried about being a criminal?

which largely ended before Obama took office

Which means it hasn’t ended and the CIA is still torturing people. Who? We don’t know. Are they terrorists? If we look at the statistics of who was released from GITMO, they probably aren’t terrorists.
The Nuremberg trials didn’t give Nazi’s with knowledge of the atrocities committed in the camps a free pass. His objections weren’t heard and his morals weren’t strong enough for him to quit over it. Do we want a money-whore heading the CIA?

Obama does…twice.

Pure theatre.

Hey! Wasn’t Obama supposed to be opposed to torture and close Gitmo? Oops, I forgot – that was a non-binding campaign promise.
